    Zone Overview: Enter the Hub of Goblin Ingenuity in Undermine(d)


    As the adventure continues in The War Within, travel deep into the capital of the goblin's trade empire—Undermine. Continue the pursuit of Xal'atath and confront Gallywix's forces in the sprawling city streets of a city suffering from the conflict between the four major Cartels—Bilgewater, Blackwater, Steamwheedle, and Venture Co.

    While in Undermine, learn more about goblin culture and society, what's important to them, the problems they are trying to solve, everything that makes them truly unique, and what they're capable of as a society. We'll dig deeper beyond their humor and explosions, though there will still be explosions and a LOT of mayhem to be found. Learn more in our previously published article.

    Earn a new customizable vehicle and engage in D.R.I.V.E. as you drift at high speed through the streets of Undermine.

    A cool acronym needs a cool meaning, and the goblins haven’t skimped on the meaning of D.R.I.V.E.’s. Standing for Dynamic and Revolutionary Improvements to Vehicular Experiences, you’ll want to make sure you have your sweet ride to roll around town in.

    Players can earn the customizable G-99 Breakneck vehicle to use exclusively in their adventures within Undermine.

Season 2 will also increase the difficulty of all delves from tier 4 and above.



    New PvP Arena: Cage of Carnage


    Found in the Demolition Dome, the Cage of Carnage is a close-quarter gladiatorial arena where players are dropped in through trap doors separated only by a haphazard metal platform equipped with ramps at every corner. This map is available at launch.

    And the road map has the next tier coming out in early-ish summer. Pretty short season.

    It's actually quite spot on based on the roadmap.

    As it's placed on the road map it looks to be a July-August release (money's on July) which would be a normal 5-6 month season. Summer doesn't even begin until late June.

    Thats was a .5 patch, you never compare a 0.5 patch to a 1.0, ever.

    Edit: Actually a 0.2 patch.

    They committed to an 8 week patch cycle, and so far they've been keeping it within that range (11.0.2 was 10 weeks, 11.0.5 was 8 weeks, 11.0.7 will be 10 weeks). Seasons will last about six months.

    11.1.5 in April, 11.1.7 in June, 11.2.0 in August/September, 11.2.5 in October, 11.2.7 in December. Roughly.

    12.0.0 with housing prelaunch looks like it's probably going to be January, with full launch a few weeks later.

    Housing prelaunch has been hinted to be that funky hearthstone on the 2025 roadmap.

    Assuming we get housing prior to 12.0, we could see it where an 11.2.5 would otherwise be expected. I imagine if they're actually able to meet this deadline, we might see housing released alongside Legion remix.

    This would be the best timeline. Let's hope!

    It shows it as very early Winter, so either end of December or start of January. I suppose it could launch in 11.2.7, since they don't have a marker for 12.0 on the roadmap, but it makes the most sense for it to be in the prelaunch. I just don't want to be too optimistic.

    Never say never, but it's very safe to assume December 21st to ~January 15th are completely out of speculations as release for anything, even if it would be part of patch. I think Legion Remix will launch to give us stuff to do before Christmas and housing will simply come with pre-patch around early February.

    The roadmap shows the fel green transition happening at 11.2.7, then the house icon is right on the edge of Autumn and Winter. The fact that it's on the 2025 roadmap at all suggests that they want to try and launch it at the end of the year.

    The best part about this patch is Plunderstorm ending.
